Do folks believe that the US News ranking is the best source for guidance? I have looked it all over, and made phone calls to the places. Generally, they seem to advise to stay closer to home with a more local CCC. I am hung up on whether I should push for a ranked number 1, 2, or 3 CCC, or would a second opinion at Dana Farber, which scored 5th in cancer, and three hours from our home in Maine, be an acceptable place for a second opinion?
